In an interview with the US network ABC, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to the question of whether he believes a ceasefire in Gaza is possible:
“A ceasefire would be a surrender to Hamas. It would be a victory for Hamas. A ceasefire after the Al Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Centre would be no more possible than it would have been possible for you.”
When asked who should govern Gaza once the war is over, Netanyahu responds:
“Israel will have responsibility for security for an indefinite period, because when we have not that responsibility, what we have is the explosion of terror from Hamas.”
Netanyahu’s words are summarized as follows by the New York Times:
“Israel will govern Gaza”.
In other words, Netanyahu openly announced their plan: to take over Gaza by transforming it from Palestinian territory into Israeli territory.
This is confirmed by the fact that the Israeli armed forces are not only massacring the Palestinian population but are making Gaza no longer inhabitable by Palestinians: in the northern part of the Strip they have already destroyed over 30% of all buildings.
The plan envisages the subsequent opening of a “humanitarian corridor” to transfer the Palestinians from Gaza to the Egyptian desert of Sinai, then doing the same with the Palestinians of the West Bank.
In the game of roles, US Secretary of State Blinken went to Israel with the declared aim of obtaining a ceasefire in Gaza, which Netanyahu rejected. Behind this tragic play, there is reality. An example for everyone: the one-ton satellite-guided bombs that Israeli planes drop on Palestinian working-class neighbourhoods are supplied to Israel by the United States.
Regarding the “Hamas explosion of terror” which according to the Prime Minister makes it necessary for Israel to govern Gaza, Netanyahu forgets what he declared at a meeting of his party in March 2019:
“Anyone who wants to hinder the creation of a Palestinian State must support Hamas and transfer money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy: to isolate the Palestinians of Gaza from the Palestinians of the West Bank.”
These and many other facts (reported in the last 4 episodes of Grandangolo) demonstrate that the Israeli leaders and their secret services were not taken by surprise by the attack carried out on October 7 by Hamas, but they made it happen to implement their plan. We are therefore faced with something similar to what happened in the United States on September 11, 2001.
